DirectX 11 Gaming Performance

Alien vs. Predator

The Alien vs. Predator benchmark makes use of the advanced Tessellation, screen space ambient occlusion, and high-quality shadow features available with DirectX 11. In addition to enabling all of the aforementioned DirectX 11-related features offered by this benchmark, we also switched on 4X anti-aliasing along with 16X anisotropic filtering to more heavily tax the graphics cards being tested.

The Alien vs. Predator benchmark eats up memory bandwidth, hence the major advantages for the Radeons and their 384-bit memory bus here. Compared to the reference GeForce GTX 680, however, the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 Super OverClock performed very well, outpacing the stock card by almost 6%.
